Logan Sargeant CRASHES out of P1 in Japan in another nightmare for Williams and red flags the session... as team principal James Vowles confirms there is 'significant damage' to his car

Logan Sargeant crashed out of the first practice session in Japan, causing a temporary red flag. 

The American span out and crashed into the wall at the high-speed Dunlop corner, leaving his car unuseable for the rest of the session. 

It comes after team-mate Alex Albon committed the same error in Australia, which left Williams with just one car for the GP.

In that scenario, Vowles opted to have Albon race in Sargeant's car. 

Sargeant was driving the very same chassis that Albon crashed in Australia when he lost control in Japan this morning. Hesaid he was 'okay' over the team radio. 

'It's pretty significant [the damage],' team principal James Vowles confirmed. 'The chassis is okay, fortunately, but I would say pretty much everything else isn't.'

At the time of writing, it is unclear if Sargeant will be able to take part in the second practice session.
